Eisenhower playing himself

Rating: Null/10 (1 January 2003)

In the trivia section, it said that Eisenhower was actually considered for the part of playing himself in the movie. I found that to be rather interesting because I wasn't aware of that. It also said that he consented to do the part but the reason he didn't get it is that the make-up artists couldn't make him up to look like his same young self in 1944. I find this rather hard to understand because, to me anyway, he didn't look that much different in the early 60s when the movie was made than he did in the mid 40s! Oh well, at least the guy they had portray him, Henry Grace, was a dead ringer for the former supreme commander!
